Description

The aim of the second-semester course is to extend the numerical physics concepts introduced during the first semester, still in Python. Fourier methods, solutions to linear and non-linear systems are covered, as well as initial notions of conservation/transport equations and numerical stability. The course is supplemented by machine exercise sessions, and continues with group projects in the second half of the semester. Project topics include setting up sound manipulation tools, simple 1D plasma simulation, N-body system evolution and solving the non-stationary Schrodinger equation.
